What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.
Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I’m not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.
How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I can walk to all except university (1hr walk, or 15min bike ride) and sports center (1+ hr walk, 18min bike ride).
I don’t get the gas station though. Why so many "should"s? Why would you need to walk to a gas station?
Unless ppl are considering “gas station” to mean “convenience store”, which in a lot of America that’s what they are.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Ok, so the university one depends on what you call a university. If it’s a 4 year liberal arts college (teaches many things) then yeah, 1hr walk, 15min bike.
If it’s any undergraduate or graduate program, then my answer switches to yet. There’s a Keller Graduate School of Management across the street from me.
No. Nope. Neigh. Don’t want that.
